Based on those comments, NDOT added this ramp to Alternative 2, the Preferred Alternative. The impacts of including this ramp in the Preferred Alternative are documented in the Final EIS.

They live on the west side of I‐580 just north of Moana Lane, and the homes are only a few feet from the existing traffic noise barrier. They are concerned about the close proximity and noise of construction, especially if the existing traffic noise barrier is removed and replaced. Based on these comments, NDOT will leave the existing traffic noise barrier in place during construction of the new traffic noise barrier, which is on the freeway side of the existing wall, so that the existing traffic noise barrier will shield Leisure Lane residents from the freeway construction noise. NDOT Comments were also received from: will incorporate the existing traffic noise barrier into the design of the new barrier so as not to remove or disturb the adjacent residents.
